Christ the King is a Catholic school for all children built upon the solid foundation of Christian values which serves families living and worshipping in the parishes of Blessed Sacrament, Mother of God and St Peter’s in Leicester. We believe that each individual should be given the opportunity to flourish and develop to their full potential. Here they can acquire the skills to become confident and articulate, well equipped to meet the challenges of a fast-changing world.

We are committed to the development of the individual, to enabling every pupil to fulfil their potential, not only in their academic studies but also in sports, drama, music or wherever their talents may lie. We meet together regularly as a community to celebrate success and reflect upon the values of tolerance and mutual respect, honesty and integrity that underpin our philosophy here at Christ the King.

"Believe and achieve at Christ the King."

Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy has a particular distinctiveness in that it seeks to represent the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ and the teaching of the Catholic Church, as we strive to develop the talents of every member of our community.

We are a school actively in union with our community that embraces and champions the British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. 

Aims for our pupils:

Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy aims to promote high achievement and learning for life by working with pupils:

• To deepen their knowledge, understanding and love of God and his creation.
• To engender a spirit of independence and self-motivation, thus promoting self-esteem and to encourage personal responsibility for actions.
• To provide for each child a wide, balanced curriculum of high quality, appropriate to individual needs and fulfilling the requirements of the National Curriculum.
• To develop independent, enquiring minds and an enjoyment of learning.
• To achieve the highest possible personal standards in all areas of the curriculum.

Mission for our school

Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy believes that each child will succeed by the school:

• Working with parents and parishes to give the children in our care a knowledge of their faith and to guide them in the practice of their faith.
